Q: skin rash after wisdom tooth extraction

Hi all,
I developed a weird rash shortly (about 3 hours) after having all four of my wisdom teeth extracted. The rash was localized to my right upper leg/groin area and is very very itchy. It started off as just red inflammed skin, but is now forming small white bumps. I took some over the counter anti-histamines which, surprisingly, worked really well in reducing the itchiness but the rash isn't getting any better. In fact today (5 days post extraction) I have a new outbreak of rash on my wrists. But this rash looks different as it is small red spots with no itchiness and no redness of skin.
I took two amoxicillin pills (one after the surgery, one the next morning) then stopped due to the rash. I then switched to clindamycin for two days, but have stopped taking that too because it seemed like the rash was getting worse.
My question is, are these symptoms consistent with an amocilillin rash? Namely, the really quick onset of itchiness (3 hours), the localization to the upper right leg/groin and the white bumps.
Thanks for any input!
